Online personal training that fits your week
Work directly with Sam Kramer on a strength plan built around your goals, equipment, and schedule. Train independently, log your sessions in ABC Trainerize, and send form videos for feedback. Weekly check-ins give us a regular place to review progress and adjust the plan.
What coaching includes
- Custom programming for your experience, goals, and available equipment.
- Video form reviews so you can get feedback on recorded sets.
- Weekly check-ins to review training, recovery, and consistency.
- Direct messaging for coaching questions between check-ins.
- Nutrition targets and habit support when nutrition is part of your plan.
How we get started
First, book a free discovery call. In 15 to 30 minutes, we talk about your goals, training history, schedule, and whether coaching fits. The free fitness assessment is a separate, longer video session that starts the coaching engagement.
Once we agree on the service and plan, you receive your program in ABC Trainerize. You train on your own schedule. We use your log, videos, and check-ins to decide what to change.
A manageable training schedule
For a busy adult, I may start with two focused sessions of about 45 minutes each, including warm-ups. That example keeps strength training under two hours a week. Your actual schedule depends on your goals, experience, and recovery. Check-ins, meal preparation, travel, walking, and other activity take additional time.
You can train in a commercial gym or with a home setup. We choose exercises around what is available. Coaching is fully online, and workouts are completed independently rather than as live supervised sessions.
See what to share in a weekly check-in, including a preparation template and an example of how feedback can inform the next week.
Who this fits
This can fit a busy professional, someone returning to training, or someone who wants help making sense of a stalled routine. You need to be willing to record your sessions and communicate what is working. If you need live supervision for every workout, we should discuss that before enrollment.

Common questions
Do I need a gym membership?
No. Tell me what equipment you have, and we can discuss a workable plan before you enroll.
How quickly will I get a response?
Messaging and video reviews are part of coaching. We will agree on communication expectations during onboarding. Messages are not a live supervision or emergency service.
Do you provide injury treatment?
No. Coaching is for training and nutrition support. Pain, injury, rehabilitation, and medical nutrition questions may require a licensed healthcare professional.
